'Today, I want to respond to a question about Turkish social-security applications. The question comes from Terry, who asks:

“Dear Orhan, I have been working in Turkey with a work permit since June 2008. I am not a Turkish citizen and I am registered with the pension system in my own country. Can I retire through the Turkish public-pension system because I have been working in this country? Can I get a pension payment from the Turkish Republic?

Do I have to be a Turkish citizen for this and what conditions are required for retirement? Best wishes.”

nope still didnt get all that really...
''number of premium payment days''..
wonder how many they are...is that why some turks are able to retire at 40 some not..
i thought that rule changed recently..very confusing.
i wonder if u work on off (legally) say one year one year not then again the next year (if one was soooo lucky) would one still be elligable and it all add up? (presuming you have been working for a Turk private company or gov. not self emp.)
